Breaking news: BP has ousted chair Albert Manifold following 'serious concerns' over governance standards, oversight and conduct, and named Ian Tyler as interim chair ft.trib.al/2PhUmpY

@IGoBySteve Now that you mention it, The Bruce sounds great!

The name Great Salt Lake is so amazingly technical and descriptive, but does anyone know if there were ever any plans to name it after a person or place?

I had a distant cousin killed in Vietnam. 18 years old. My bunk mate in Iraq was killed in Baghdad. 20 years old. The number of friends I've lost to suicide out number the ones I've lost to combat. We need to stop rich old men sending kids to die in foreign lands.

Someone snapped themselves a generational asset. This one's reserved now.

No women on the Navy flag selection list this year. Sixteen % of the service zeroed out by weak civilian leadership. This will take years to recover.

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations. So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut. Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever. In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families. When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

These four Black men are the only Black people elected to serve in Congress from Louisiana since the 1870s. Louisiana has elected more than 170 white men to Congress during that same period. Yet today, a corrupt Supreme Court, a puppet governor, and a weak-backed legislature have decided to strip elected power from Black people. That means other people decide how our tax dollars are invested in our communities. I spoke with @repcleofields_, @reptroycarter, former Rep. @cedric_richmond, and former Rep. William Jefferson about why they went to the Louisiana State Capitol to testify against the congressional maps being pushed through. For years, I’ve been saying what happens in Louisiana will impact America. Here we are. This week, the Louisiana House of Representatives plans to pass maps that dilute Black voting power. Our response cannot be silence. Our response has to be showing up in numbers this November and beginning the work of taking power back.

85 years ago today, in the freezing grey water between Iceland and Greenland, the most famous warship in the world died in under three minutes. HMS Hood. 48,000 tons. The pride of the Royal Navy for twenty years. The ship British schoolchildren drew in their notebooks. "The Mighty Hood." She was hunting the Bismarck. At 05:52 on 24 May 1941, Vice Admiral Lancelot Holland gave the order to open fire at 26,500 yards. He was closing the range hard on purpose, because Hood's weak deck armor could not survive shells falling from above at long range. He needed flat trajectories, and he needed them fast. He was three minutes too slow. Bismarck's fifth salvo straddled Hood as she turned to bring her rear guns to bear. A single 15-inch shell punched through her thin armored deck and detonated her aft magazines. Witnesses on Prince of Wales described a column of flame that rose higher than the mainmast, eerily silent at first, the sound arriving a moment later. Hood broke in two. Her stern rose vertically out of the sea, guns still pointed at the sky, and slid under. Her bow followed. Of 1,418 men aboard, three survived. Signalman Ted Briggs, Able Seaman Bob Tilburn, Midshipman Bill Dundas. They floated on a raft of debris in near-freezing water, watching their ship's oil burn around them, until the destroyer Electra found them two hours later. Briggs was 18 years old. He lived until 2008, the last man who had stood on the Mighty Hood. The Bismarck won the battle. But Prince of Wales, only just commissioned with shipyard workers still aboard fixing her main guns, had landed three hits before retreating. One ruptured a forward fuel tank. Bismarck began trailing oil across the Atlantic like a wounded animal. Churchill's order to the fleet was simple. Sink the Bismarck. Every available British warship turned to the chase. Three days later, at the edge of the Bay of Biscay, a Swordfish biplane from HMS Ark Royal, flying through a gale at near sea level, dropped a torpedo that jammed Bismarck's rudder hard to port. She could only steam in a slow circle, straight back into the Royal Navy. King George V and Rodney closed at dawn on 27 May. They fired on her for ninety minutes. Bismarck absorbed over 400 shells and at least a dozen torpedoes before she rolled over and went down with roughly 2,200 of her crew. The Royal Navy answered for Hood in 72 hours.

Comme à chaque vague de chaleur, des bouches à incendie sont ouvertes «sans motif légitime» un peu partout en Île-de-France. Une pratique «dangereuse et interdite» et passible de 5 ans de prison et 75 000 euros d'amende, rappellent les pompiers. 🔴 Notre DIRECT ➡️ l.leparisien.fr/PgEs
